Admixture and Gene Flow from Russia in the Recovering Northern European Brown Bear (Ursus arctos)

Large carnivores were persecuted to near extinction during the last centuries, but have now recovered in some countries. It has been proposed earlier that the recovery of the Northern European brown bear is supported by migration from Russia. We tested this hypothesis by obtaining for the first time continuous sampling of the whole Finnish bear population, which is located centrally between the...

Signs of beta-cell autoimmunity in nondiabetic schoolchildren: a comparison between Russian Karelia with a low incidence of type 1 diabetes and Finland with a high incidence rate.

OBJECTIVE We sought to study the prevalence of autoantibodies to various islet cell antigens in the background population of two neighboring countries with a sixfold difference in the incidence of type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 3,652 nondiabetic schoolchildren in Finland and from 1,988 schoolchildren in the adjacent Karelian Republic of Russia. T...

Common environmental chemicals do not explain atopy contrast in the Finnish and Russian Karelia

BACKGROUND Atopic allergy is much more common in Finnish compared with Russian Karelia, although these areas are geographically and genetically close. To explore the role of environmental chemicals on the atopy difference a random sample of 200 individuals, 25 atopic and 25 non-atopic school-aged children and their mothers, were studied. Atopy was defined as having at least one positive skin pr...

Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 is independently associated with brachial-ankle pulse-wave velocity in nonobese Japanese type 2 diabetic patients.

HLA-conferred susceptibility (2). Thus, the reason(s) must be linked to environmental factors. We assessed vitamin D status in the Russian Karelian and Finnish populations to determine whether vitamin D could play a role in the huge difference observed in diabetes incidence. The geographical location in terms of daily sunlight exposure is approximately the same in both populations ( 62– 66°N). ...

Nitric oxide in the exhaled breath condensate of healthy volunteers collected with a reusable device.

BACKGROUND The analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a non-invasive technique that enables the determination of several volatile and nonvolatile substances produced in the respiratory tract, whose measurement may be useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of several respiratory diseases. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to produce a low-cost reusable device in order to sample exha...
